About Eastwood Metal Blackening System

The Eastwood Metal Blackening System is far more durable than any room temperature blackening system on the market today. User friendly, easy to apply spray application requires no special equipment, no air compressor, or specialty solvent. Everything you need is included in the kit. The Metal Blackening system was designed for the DIY market to accurately duplicate the look and feel of black oxide phosphate finishes on automotive under hood and under car hardware , bracket, hinges, etc. Normal Oxide coating was done with heat and chemical baths that still could not prevent the corrosion over time. The Metal Blackening System eliminates all of that. Easy to apply no heat cure and your parts will look accurate and never rust again and have protection from heat up to 600 F. Professional results on all steel, stainless and alloy components.
